Significance
While the number of cyberattacks on AI-based systems is thus far limited, research suggests a latent potential for malicious actors to exploit new types of vulnerabilities that arise from the implementation of AI components in various contexts.
Impacts
AI security will be especially sensitive in contexts that can cause physical damage, such as transport or military.
In the finance and legal sectors, malicious manipulation of AI risks detrimental social and political consequences.
The use of AI for cybersecurity purposes such as malware detection could solve but also create problems.
